Hope everyone is doing well! A little background: broke into the hobby in 2006 with a mini-bow 7 system that went great with a 70W Sunpod! Most corals grew fantastically and the system flourished through a move in 2008. Sadly the tank suffered a fracture and we (my lovely wife and I) had to move the system to a 10 Gallon. With our new house purchase last year we decided it was time for a new tank. My sunpod gave out so I decided on a whole new system and chose Cadlights! The tank arrived in a week, cross country no less! No damage; however, I implore Cadlights to provide some instructions for putting the lighting together in the future and improving the cover design. Overall though the tank is fabulous.

Stats:22 Gallon built in refugiumCustom stand built by my grandfather-in-law and myself.96 Watts of T-5 lightingChaeto in refugium, using light off my old pictope for fuge lighting.Around 26-30 lbs of live rock.Only the zoa colony and some random mushrooms as I sold my previous coral colonies when the sunpod died.Krusty the 5 year old Ocellaris ClownfishMonte the Royal Gramma5 large Turbo Snails

Coral Plans:Another colony or two of zoas.Mainly LPS such as an open brains, small elegance coral, maybe a bubble, and my favorite candy canes/trumpet corals.

What do you guys think? Any advice on coral choice? I dont want anything with crazy high flow as I like the look of the one outlet. It is a 500gph pump btw.

They are good output wise I just wish it was a little sleeker, the legs were a little better designed, and really wish they hadn't put the sticker on the wrong side!!!! Yep its 10" front to back of actual display size.
